Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup or 150 grm peanuts
  • 1 cup or 150 grm til
  • 2 cup or 300 grm jaggery
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • ½ tsp dry ginger powder
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder
  • Garnish with sesame seeds - almond and pistachio slits

Instructions

  • Take 1 cup peanuts, 1 cup til (sesame seeds), and 2 cups jaggery. Chop the jaggery finely.
  • Now, in a pressure cooker, heat some water and place a stand in the center. Place 2 cups of jaggery in a bowl, cover the bowl, place it in the cooker, close the lid, and pressure cook on a medium flame for 1 whistle.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 cup til to a pan and roast on a low flame until it puffs up. Transfer it to a plate, let it cool, then add it to a mixer jar and grind using the pulse mode. Transfer the ground til to a bowl.
  • Next, add 1 cup peanuts to a pan and roast on a low flame until they turn crispy and start splitting. Transfer the peanuts to a towel and rub gently to remove the outer skins.
  • Add the roasted peanuts to a mixer jar and grind using the pulse mode to make a coarse powder. Transfer it to the bowl. The peanut–til mixture is ready.
  • Once the pressure releases naturally, open the cooker. The jaggery will be completely melted. Add 2 tbsp ghee, 1/2 tsp cardamom powder, and 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder. Mix well.
  • Add the hot jaggery mixture to the peanut–til mixture and mix well.
  • Transfer the sukhdi to a plate and level it. Garnish with roasted til, almond slivers, and pistachio slivers.
  • Let it rest for 2–3 hours, then cut into pieces.
  • Serve or store in an airtight container. It stays good for up to 1 month at room temperature.

Notes

  • The proportion of jaggery (gud) should be equal to peanuts (sing) and sesame seeds (til).
  • Cook on a medium flame for 1 whistle.
  • Roast the sesame seeds (til) on a low flame until they puff up.
  • Grind the roasted sesame seeds in a mixer using pulse mode.
  • Roast the peanuts until they split into two and their outer skin comes off.
  • Adding cardamom powder and dry ginger powder to the melted jaggery enhances the flavour of sukhdi.
  • When the jaggery is hot and fully melted, immediately add it to the peanuts and sesame seed mixture.
  • Allow the sukhdi mixture to rest for 2–3 hours, or until it sets completely.
